Justin Timberlake was arrested this week on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, and it was only mere moments before it became a meme.There’s pretty good standing for this meme creation. The police officer who arrested him allegedly didn’t know who he was (funny). A source told Page Six that he muttered, “This is going to ruin the tour,” to which the cop responded: “What tour?””The world tour,” Timberlake allegedly responded. Mashable Top Stories SEE ALSO: The best memes of 2024 (so far) We don’t know a ton of details about the arrest. It looks like no one was hurt, and…
Citigroup Inc. hosted its annual investor day this week, with a big push from CEO Jane Fraser to redefine how it’s biggest segment, services, is valued. Apparently, it worked, as Morgan Stanley analysts today pinned the value of Citi’s services segment, which includes many of the payment rails that connect global finance, to about $56 billion ($30 per share)—nearly half the bank’s entire value. Citi’s market cap is currently $115.8 billion. The segment, which includes what Citi calls Treasury and Trade Solutions such as liquidity management, and Securities Services, like custody and fund services, transacts about $5 trillion a day…
UN commission’s damning findings follow Security Council resolution and ICJ orders.A report by a United Nations-backed commission of inquiry finds Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the more than eight months of war in Gaza. It also says Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups violated international humanitarian law during their attacks on southern Israel in October. The conclusions follow thousands of interviews with victims and advanced forensic analyses of medical reports and satellite images. But both a UN Security Council resolution and a binding ruling by the UN’s top court have failed to halt Israel’s offensive.…

Among all industries experiencing an artificial intelligence–fueled revolution, the creative and design fields are among the most susceptible to massive disruptions. But as creatives embrace new generative AI–enabled tools that turn text into images and videos, the software companies that sell these products say the AI itself is due for a bit of a redesign. “The promise of AI is that it does everything for you and magically reads your mind, but the actual reality of it is that you still need to interact with it,” says Cameron Adams, cofounder and chief product officer of design platform Canva. “Getting something…

Honor’s 200 Pro is an upper-midranger or maybe a lesser flagship. It has a lovely screen, good battery life, fast charging, a versatile camera, and the AI features of Honor’s flagship, Magic 6 Pro. Compromises are minimal. Sure, the processor is a step down from the flagship tier, it’s slightly less water resistant, the camera isn’t quite as good, and the 200 Pro misses out on secure face unlock, but it offers a pretty similar experience at a much more affordable price (£700 in the UK or 800 euros in Europe). It is not officially sold in the US.Honor focused…
I’ve posted before about why we don’t use scented candles and what we use instead. One of my favorite alternatives is essential oil diffusers, and many people asked what type of diffuser I use and recommend. I’m not an aromatherapy expert, but I have tried many types of diffusers. I wanted to share the pros and cons of the ones we’ve tried. This can help you find a high-quality aroma diffuser that will work well for your own family. Not all diffusers are created equal and some work much better than others. I wish I’d read a review like this before deciding…
Deadly heat that recently blanketed the United States, Mexico and Central America was made 35 times more likely due to global warming, an international network of climate scientists has said. The World Weather Attribution (WWA) group also said the extreme highs experienced across the region in May and June were four times as likely to occur today as a quarter of a century ago. The record-breaking heat killed at least 125 people in Mexico and caused thousands more to suffer heat strokes, a potentially fatal condition that occurs when the body’s internal cooling mechanism starts to fail. “We likely do…
The dramatic new-age tale of a college student striking gold on a billion-dollar idea not long after donning their graduation gown has been a very American dream for much of the 21st century. While Europe lagged behind the tech boom, the founders of Google, Meta, and Microsoft, still reigning supreme, were starting their journeys out of sweaty college dorm rooms at Harvard and Stanford. However, several exciting European startups are proving they won’t get left behind in the AI revolution, as more capital now flows through Paris than anywhere else on the continent. According to Dealroom data analyzed by venture…
Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi on the second stop of an East Asian tour. The trip, which comes on the heels of his lavish visit to North Korea, is being interpreted as a demonstration of the diplomatic support Russia still enjoys in this region. The United States has criticised the visit for giving a platform for President Putin to promote his war of aggression in Ukraine. Vietnam still values the historic ties it has with Russia even as it works to improve its relationship with Europe and the US.Looming over a small park in…
